Accordingly, Dai Ninh Hydropower Company announced that from 7:30 to 10:30 on December 4, every 30 minutes, the water discharge level through the spillway will be increased by 100m3/s. By 10:30 the same day, the water level released by this company reached 800m3/s. After that, depending on the water flow to Dai Ninh Lake, the hydropower operating unit will continue to increase or decrease the discharge level.
